NH weighs in on best, worst Presidents

JOHN QUINNUnion Leader Correspondent

DOVER — A handful of local people feel President Barack Obama is not living up to expectations and pales in comparison to his predecessors in the past 70 years.

A new Quinnipiac University poll, which surveyed 1,446 people via phone from June 24-30, determined that 33 percent of participants believed Obama is the worst President since World War II. He was joined by George W. Bush and Richard Nixon, who received 28 and 13 percent, respectively.

On the other hand, 35 percent of those surveyed said Ronald Reagan was the best of the 12 Presidents who have served since World War II. Bill Clinton earned second place with 18 percent, John Kennedy received 15 percent for third place. Obama received 8 percent.

Dover resident Amy Matthews agreed with the poll results, but was not sure what people would think in another 10, 20 or 30 years.
